Castle Clash has a ton of heroes and deciding which ones you should focus on can be incredibly hard because you don’t know which ones really help you in the long run, right? Also, upgrading a hero in Castle Clash is expensive and takes time and you don’t want to waste that on a hero that’s simply not worth it!
We created a tier list of best heroes looking at how they perform in the important game modes (plus some other things, but more on that later) to give you a list that will help you choose the heroes you will focus on in Castle Clash.
November 2023 Update! Added the new heroes
Tier List Explanation
Before you take a look at the list, please read some general instructions how we created this list and how you should take the information when you use it for your choice.
Hero Tiers
The heroes have tiers in from S (Superior, the strongest) over A (still very strong) over B, C to D (not useful for this game mode at all).
For every game mode you will find a tier ranking that will show you how well a maxed hero will perform here. There’s also a total tier that takes all the game modes into equation.
Game Modes in Castle Clash
Not all game modes are similar important in Castle Clash when it comes to rewards. For that reason, we also prioritized the game modes that will give you better rewards to have more influence on the total score.
Missing Heroes
Not every single hero in Castle Clash is here in the list. With the addition of so many new heroes there are a lot of heroes that have no more use-case right now. So, instead of having dozens of additional heroes in the list all ranked lowest tier, I don’t have them here. If you’re looking for a hero that’s not on the list be sure that there’s no use or need to invest in that hero, he’s not close to become anywhere to useful anytime soon.
Please mind that the total score reflects this view! E.g. we don’t rank Arena as very important so the tier in Arena has the lowest impact on the total score. If you prioritize on Arena in Castle Clash, the column with Arena is more important to you than the total tier of a hero.
- Guild War, Dungeons, HBM, Ember Army, Hero Trials have 100% impact on the total tier of a hero
- Team Dungeons, Lost Battlefield, Narcia have 75% impact
- Fortress Feud, Archdemon, Lostland, Labyrinth, Blitz have 50% impact
- Arena has 25% impact
Best Heroes Tier List
Now, here’s the list:

- PuppeteerNEWPuppeteer Build (NEW)Really not want to rank him already as goes in all direction, from good to not good at this point and I need to test more to give him a final rankingPuppeteer Build (NEW)
- DreadshadeNEWDreadshade Build (NEW)I would rank him very high and as he can inhibit Malefice he deserves that - BUT I assume there might be a sonish change to that so I don't want you to go all in and build and then the devs nerf and you hate me. If you're willing to take that risk of a upcoming nerf, you can go ahead and have a ton of fun with him and if they don't nerf him have a great edge.Dreadshade Build (NEW)

Is Vermilica here? Is Inquisitess here? I don’t think so. They came out in the end of February. Hope you can update it.
sure they are
Hey man, great guide. As someone who just recently got back into the game, this list has been very helpful. I know this is too much to ask, but it would be nice if you could give a short description explaining what makes this unit good, or bad and what kind of role they play in a team. This way, someone like me can understand how why a certain unit is good and how I can utilize them. For example, there are so many game modes in this game and the same with the heroes. So, I’m sure some units excel more in a certain mode than others. It would be really helpful to know I can best build my team.
Great guide man. I just got back in the game after a year or two so this is pretty helpful. I know this is asking too much, but it would be nice if you had a small description explaining why each hero is in the tier you put it on. Since everything seems new to me right now, I have no idea why the top heroes are at the top. I have no idea what modes they are good for and why these talents or insignia are recommended.
Great guide. Thanks a lot.
As for the new heroes Vermilica , Inquistess , Lady Weldcore & Genteel Droid.
I would like to know if they are worth investing in.
Sure but it takes some testing to give you a solid recommendation here. I hope to get it done by next week 🙂
Do I assume correctly that my raid teams would be those ranking high in Blitz?
Vermilica , Inquistess , Lady Weldcore & Genteel Droid are they powerfull …
What about lady weldcore?
What about revenant?
Lady weldcore and genteel droid? Great list btw!
Did you just update the heroes rank?
As I remember it is not like that before.
Exactly, noted that I did some changes to several heroes to reflect current strength
Please update so many are countring on your judgement! 😀
Just updated 🙂
Really helpful mate! Where would you place cold conjuress?
great publish, very informative. I wonder why the other
specialiists of this sector do not notice this. You must continue your writing.
I am sure, you have a huge readers’ base already!
Awesome dude all my heroes that I have are on here btw my playername is WaRiOr5 and my team is Landwalker, Athene, Anubis, Lazulix, Phobos, and Occultist.
How is treantaur at C doesn’t it revive 2 allies?
Thank you very much bro, u are awesome, keep up the good work!
hey btw…where are artica and moltanica? are they so bad that they fell of the list?
How about Barbarian Rider? (Will it make the list?)
How is rambard higher in the list than dovekeeper. Rambard always dies first in my team and dovekeeper always dies last. And i have the exact same talents, crests, etc as this list???
cuz rambard revives heroes and also cuz u maybe have a shitty rambard build use emp sl
Thanks so much for this!!! I never knew which ones were good and which heroes were trash. I understand having to wait a week for new heroes, but is it possible to try to put older heroes on there that aren’t already?
What i don’t understood is actually how you’re no longer
really much more smartly-preferred than you might be right now.
You are so intelligent. You recognize thus considerably in relation to
this matter, made me individually believe it from numerous various angles.
Its like men and women aren’t interested unless it’s something to
do with Girl gaga! Your individual stuffs great.
At all times care for it up!
👎🏻
im surprised rosaleen is so low, she is a valuable asset to any team, im 300k might and looking to get a pretty good team, so far my team is miss magic (bt 32), Zephyrica (bt21), rambard (bt 23), dove keeper (bt 24), rosaleen (bt 21), and young spark (bt 21). who should i focus on trying to get? i have 1 cold heir, and im halfway to 1 dynamica copy.
Rosaleen is pretty weak, like Miss Magic, you should focus on your Zephy
Thank you for making this. This help newbie player a lot. Keep it up!
Awesome list, i just think colossus is good enough to be somewhere in there
Where is aries?
As I said, only useful heroes in here and aries isn’t anymore
can you also make best builds
Sure thing – you can find it here
Yes please. Have just got Royal Mummy, but not much info or there
Hey Tim you are very very helpful for clashes. And you are very clear in your opinion. I like it. Off course Thank you
Can u add some of the new heroes? Like royal mummy
Sure thing, I update this list frequently with new heroes but it always take some time to identify the strength of a hero unless testing him for some time… I think I will do an update next week or so 🙂
Please update
Please update
It’s a pity that the list of champions here is not alphabetical. I’m playing the Vietnamese version, so all the champion’s names have changed. I only know how to compare the faces of champions. It’s difficult when we don’t speak the same language. But I appreciate the full information of the game here. Very grateful for that.
